North Carolina Lawmakers Propose State Bitcoin Reserve
North Carolina lawmakers introduced legislation on Wednesday to create a state-controlled Bitcoin reserve.
U.S. states want Bitcoin
Several U.S. states are exploring or have implemented BTC reserves as part of state treasury strategies.
Texas, New Hampshire, and Arizona have enacted laws allowing portions of state funds to be allocated to Bitcoin, while Maryland, Iowa, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan, South Dakota, Illinois, Tennessee and Missouri have introduced legislation proposing similar reserves.
Other states, including Oklahoma, Utah, and Pennsylvania, have considered bills that remain in committee, while proposals in Wyoming, Montana, and Florida have stalled or been rejected. These efforts reflect a growing trend to use BTC as a potential store-of-value hedge and diversify state financial assets.
